iFixit has busted out the teardown gear once again, and this time it’s the Surface Pro 2 that hit the workbench. The results weren’t pretty, but in Microsoft’s defense improved repairability wasn’t one of the upgrades the company boasted about.

The Surface Pro 2 looks a lot like the original, and it repairs like the original. iFixit slammed the Surface Pro 2 with an abysmal 1/10. There’s really no way to get a poorer score on a tablet, except possibly injecting the casing with epoxy so that the whole device is one massive, glued-together chunk that’s destined for the landfill.

After removing the new dual-stage kickstand by taking out just two screws, the real work began. First up was the stubborn adhesive that secures the Pro 2’s display, which had to be coerced into letting go by a sustained assault from iFixit’s heat gun. Then it was on to the interior, where the crew found screws. Lots of screws.

Screws aren’t always a bad thing. They’re a sign that things can at least be removed using fairly standard means, and that’s certainly better than finding even more adhesive or parts that are soldered in place. But 52 screws of three different sizes in a 10.6-inch tablet is bordering on ridiculous.

The final nail in the coffin of repairability? Microsoft chose to glue the Surface Pro 2’s batteries to the rear panel, just like it did in the original. It would’ve been nice if Microsoft had followed Amazon’s lead and used a few more screws instead… or, heck, figured out some way to make the battery easily user-replaceable.
